The #Progress-Somerset project provided unique, flexible, one-to-one support to young people aged 15-18 across Somerset, who were struggling to move forwards in life up until 31st March 2024 when our funding period came to an end.
We were funded to support those who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) or at risk of becoming so.
Funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and commissioned by Somerset Council we helped young people take steps back into education, employment or training. We encouraged the development of the ‘5’ key skills identified by employers as being gateways to employment: Communication - Customer Service - Organisation - Problem Solving - Teamwork.
Participants needed to display a desire to learn, engage with their key worker and empower themselves to make progress.
Our charter explained what to expect from us and what responsibilities were expected in return.
